Train travel is affected by the-pud- lic’s fear that traffie may be”tied up at any time by the threatened strike! of the engineers, firemen and train- men, all of whom now have demands! for higher wages before the federal arilway administration. The railway situation has supplant- ed in public interest for the time all other cdnsiderations. A strike at this time would be disastrous to North Dakota, if maintained for any length of time, for rye is already moving, and it will not be long before wheat will be ready for the market. Even | though the state's wheat crop is below normal, there is not sufficient stor age capacity in the North Dakota ele- vators and on the farms to care for} the 50,000,000 bushels which will be; harvested. ‘Ai strike would also seri- ously affect the livestock situation if it ran for any length of time. 2 ¢ | BASEBALL | speimamn NATIONAL LEAGUE W.

Small articles may be gilded by Im- mersing them in the following solu. tion, which must be used at nearly boiling heat: Caustic potash, 180 parts; carbonate of potash, 20 parts; cyanide of potassium, 9 part: water, 1,000 parts. Rather ,more than one and one-half parts chloride of gold should ‘be dissolved in the water when the other substances are to be added, and the whole boiled together. This mixture is often employed by dealers in cheap jewelry. Great Alexanders. Alexander Bell was the grent Ame letn who invented the. telephone, which is still called the Bell tele phone; and Alexander Humboldt was a German traveler, statesman apd the most distinguished naturalist of all times. One of his most important dis- coveries was the decrease in intensity of the earth's magnetic force from the pole to the equator. Huis most impor- tant book, “Kosmos,” was written ‘in’ his seventy-fifth year. He did much in his long life to further the science of the world. Worthy Mate of Great Writer. James Russell Lowell's first wife, Maria White Lowell, was also a poet. A-small collection of her verses, print- ed privately by Lowell in 3855, two. years after her death, is now almost forgotten, One copy of it is preserved in the archives of the New York public library. She was the dqughter of a farmer in Watertown, Mass. In letters to a fiend, when Lowell was first: get- ting. acquainted with Maria, he said: “She knows more poetry than anyone | 1 know”, ee “Beef-eaters,” Yeomen of the Guard, these boys will see to it that William II. does not escape from the Tower of London, once he’s imprisoned there.

The great- oe precipitation was recorded in this city. With the .9 of an inch registered in less than thirty minutes Monday morning and .25 of an.inch last night, the total for 24 hours was 1.14 inches, The weather bureau’s report shows -02 inch at Bottineau, Dickinson, Minot 06 at Napoleon and .08 at Pembina. The fall at New England amounted to .62 inch. High Wind Velocity The wind velocity Monday night was 46 miles an hour, coming from the west. It blew with sufficient strength to uproot ‘trees and one large cottonwood in the court house park was broken. Another tree in the north- western ‘part of the city, which has been standing about 40 years, was also destroyed by the wind. There are some reports that consid- erable hail had fallen in the southern part of the county, but no reports of this had reached the weather bureau today.

JULY CLEARINGS BREAK RECORDS As an indication of locai prosperity, the bank clearings for July were the | highest for that month since the Bis- marck clearing house wos argonized. More than $1,171,000 was cleared by the banks during the past months, making an average of over $45,000 for each of the business days. The high water mark was reached on July 29 when $188,950 was the total clearings. This is probably the larg- est amount cleared in one day for several months, if not for the year. The clearings for the week ending August 2 were as follows: Monday, $38,290; ‘Tuesday, $188,950; Wednes- day, $30,150; Thursday, $94,630; Fri- day, $33,110; Saturday, $31,080.

CANADIAN DOLLAR ' WORTH 96 CENTS High Exchange Rate Charged on Dominion Currency If you get a Canadian dollar in change, make the man give you 6 cents in American money. besides. In fact, make him give you 7 cents to be on the snfe side of the deal, For the price of Canadian exchange is quoted at 6 per cent discount, and this ‘is expected to advance to 7 per cent and even higher ina short time, All over the world, the value of money: is rapidly. diminishing. ‘The American dollar alone is* retaining its value. French francs, Russian: rubles, Mexican pesos, British sterling, Italian lire, all have dropped to their lowest figures. And the bottom hag, not been reached, according to bankers, The Canadian dollar is only worth 94 cents today. Perhaps tomorrow it will be worth less. Before the week is. {over it is positive that ‘it will be worth less, say bank The British sterling is now quoted at practically its lowest. figure, $4.37. For- merly :the sterling was the guide post for all foreign exchange and remained as steady the rock of Gibraltar around §4. Now the American dollar ang taken its place and banking centers all over the world recognize the fact that it is American money that had alone retained a value near to its pre- j Wer worth, With $500 in American money, a per- son-in Mexico or Russia is looked upou us a plutocrat. That money could: al- wost buy up more rubles or pesos than those governments can turn out in a month. And from reports, the printing presses of those countries do little else but print rubles and pesos. Every time a Russian’s wife or a Mexican’s senori- ta wants to buy a new dress, he rushes down into the basement and turns out a piece of paper that looks like money and the problem is solved. BUYS GRAND PACIFIC BILLIARD PARLORS A. B. Currier, one of Bismarck’s well known young businessmen, this morning took charge of the Grand Pa- cific billiard parlors, which he pur: chased yesterd2y from H. E. Loebel. The new proprietor was formerly as- sociated with Chris Bertsch, Jr., in the Bismarck Motor Co., and ‘he has been actively engaged in business in this city for several years. H. W.

Another 220-acre field which had just been cut, suffered somewhat. His 100 acres of corn was damaged about one-third he said. The hail was as large as hen’s eggs and fell for twenty minutes, breaking three windows in | his home and causing other damage to buildings. The damage was consider- ably greater north of his farm, said Mr. Breen this morning. WEBB RETURNS FROM ABERDEEN LECTURES Private John L. Webb, in charge of the recruiting office, returned yes- terday from Aberdeen where he at- tended a lecture on war risk insur- ance. Private Webb stated today that the lecture was delivered by Major George V. Triplett of the adjutant general’s department at Washington, who explained in detail many of the important points about this subject and impressed his: hearers with the ad- vantages of former service men con- tinuing their war risk insurance in civilian life. Private Webb will at- tend the meeting of the American Legion Thursday night and explain this matter for the benefit of the {needed until next summer.
